Today

“Never put off until tomorrow that which can be done today.” Thomas Jefferson

“There’s no time like the present.” Proverb

Today is the day to get busy. Today is the day for you to act upon your
ideas of how you can make the world around you a better place. You don’t have to end world hunger or
eradicate poverty in one day, but you can
do one small thing that will take the world one step closer to accomplishing
those goals. Or you can make someone
else’s life a little easier or more pleasant.
You have this power, and you can – and should – do it Today.

Today you can:

Call your mom.

Call your dad.

Call your siblings.
Tell them you love them.

Give your kids a hug and a kiss when they leave for school.

Give your spouse a hug and a kiss when he or she leaves for
work.

Volunteer at a homeless shelter.

Become an organ donor.

Adopt a pet.

Donate a dollar to whatever charity is being sponsored by a
local retailer.

Volunteer at your child’s school.

Donate clothing or other household items to Goodwill, the
Salvation Army, or another local shelter.

I prepared for and then participated in the "World Book Night" giveaway in my town to-day/night. My husband and I were able to give away 20 books of "The Kite Runner"! All to help promote literacy. This was a great post for today. Thanks for visiting my blog on a to z and leaving a comment, which, by the way, I can totally relate to.

I love "The Kite Runner"! So, you did TWO great things today - you helped promote literacy AND you shared information about a different culture! Huge pats on the back for you! Thanks so much for coming by!

About Me

I write the blog, "Since You Asked...." It's a blog about life, and how we can make the world around us a better place. And sometimes I throw in some anecdotes about my family because, hey, if you can't laugh at yourself, who CAN you laugh at?
